In many countries, fewer people are getting married or dating. In the United States, almost half of young adults between 25 and 34 do not have a partner. This is happening in many parts of the world, especially across Europe and Asia.
There are a few simple reasons for this change. First, people spend a lot of time on their phones, watching screens, and playing video games at home. Because of this, they go out less and meet fewer new friends in real life. Second, the COVID-19 pandemic made people stay inside for a long time, so many young adults forgot how to date.
Finally, women today have better educations and good jobs. They can take care of themselves and do not need to marry just for money. While some people enjoy being alone, many others still want to find love but find it hard.
